Is Pewdiepie competing in the return of Friday Fortnite?

Streamers are becoming worried that Fortnite is dying by James Bevins

Keemstar and UMG have teamed up once again to bring back the fan-favorite Friday Fortnite tournament and a recent tweet brings us to believe that the biggest Youtuber in the world aka Pewdiepie, will be competing in the first event back.

Friday Fortnite was a huge success within the Fortnite community as it was the first organized competitive event the game had seen. The weekly tournaments brought the whole community together with the best of the best competing and hundreds of thousands watching across all Twitch streams.

Unfortunately for Keemstar and UMG, Epic Games decided to begin hosting large-scale tournaments of their own with bigger and better prize pools, and this lead to the fall of Friday Fortnite…until now.

Yesterday Keemstar tweeted this and it has the community left guessing on who he is referring to.

I just got word when #FridayFortnite returns the Biggest YouTuber in the world will be joining us for week 1 Season 2 FRIDAY FORTNITE!

— KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) January 11, 2019

Note that Keemstar doesn’t give an official date as to when Friday Fortnite will be coming back, but he does say that the biggest Youtuber in the world will be joining for the first week of season 2.

Now if this is the truth and it really is the biggest Youtuber in the world who will be joining, then that person would be none other than Pewdiepie with a whopping 80 million+ subscribers. While Keemstar has been known to be a troll and have fun, this could have huge backfire if it turns out to be fake news, so it’s most likely a legitimate tweet.

Pewdiepie entering the Fortnite scene could be just what the community needs as many content creators feel as if the game is currently at a rough spot and on the verge of death.

What should competitive Fortnite look like?

Last weekend, Epic Games put forth its first true effort at official competitive Fortnite Battle Royale. It was a disaster.

The private hosts used for the tournament were about as laggy as could be, with pro players getting eliminated simply because they couldn’t move. This tournament was for a total prize of $250K. That’s big money, and big frustration for pro players who were essentially eliminated by the whims of the server gods. But on top of the lag, the whole thing was, well, boring. A cardinal sin in any sport.

The fact is that when you put 100 pro players in a lobby together and tell them that the last man standing wins, most of them will simply sit in a fort and stay safe as long as possible. This does not generate a whole lot of action.

And when there is action on the map, there was no way for a spectator to know about it. There are, after all, a hundred people to watch out for, and jumping from one engagement to another is not only difficult but lacks a certain narrative quality, making the whole thing feel scattered.

It seems clear that a guided mode or hotspot indicator would go a long way to improving the viewing experience. Being told where the fighting was or could be happening or having a guide that flagged these opportunities could work. There could also be a documentary-style concept that followed a few top players on their entire run, with the hope that they’ll find action and maybe even be pushed into conflict to impress viewers.

Epic recently published a post-mortem on the event, outlining ways that the publisher can improve on the tournament. They’ve also set forth the rules for this weekend’s event, proposing a score-based tournament where both eliminations and Victory Royales count toward players’ overall score. Whether or not this will incentivize more action will be determined following the event.

It’s also worth noting that Epic scheduled today’s event during the Fortnite Friday tournament. Fortnite Friday, hosted by popular YouTuber Keemstar and facilitated by UMG, was a $20,000 elimination-based tournament with top players. In this week of the Summer Skirmish Series, worth $1 million, Epic is choosing to host a two-day tournament, effectively rendering Fortnite Friday playerless.

It doesn’t have to be this way, Epic. I know that the concept of 100 of the best players in the world dropping into one map sounds incredible. It does. It sounds great, in theory. But in practice, it’s just a disorderly live stream of a bunch of highly talented players sitting around in bases, or worse lagging to the point of being frozen.

And, an invitational tournament (that goes terribly wrong) doesn’t scream “inclusive,” which is what Epic repeatedly says competitive Fortnite should be.

There is another way, and it’s the same way that Fortnite players have been competing for months now. A kill race.

But let’s back up a bit.

What should competitive Fortnite be?

Right now, Fortnite is played by 100 people in a single lobby, and ‘winning’ the game is defined by being the last survivor(s). This can be played in solo mode, with 100 individuals facing off against the storm and each other, or in 50 teams of two (Duos), or 25 teams of 4 (Squads).

Videogames often get tweaks for the competitive scene, whether it’s limiting the resources/gear that players can use or reducing the number of maps that can be played. When skill level is that high, most games must make changes to allow for true competition.

Given it’s still early days, Fortnite Battle Royale featuring purely pro players simply hasn’t worked.

But as it stands now, there are roughly two schools of thought.

Whoever gets the most eliminations wins.

Pros:

Super fun to watch

Requires skill

Inclusive to non-pro players

Cons:

A lot of RNG

More time consuming

Gamebattle sites like CMG and UMG have been running minor tournaments for quite a while now using this format. Fortnite Friday, arguably one of the biggest weekly tournaments, also follows this format.

Here’s how it works: Individual players load up in a Duo match on the same team, or teams of two load up into a Squad match, also on the same team, and race for who can get the most kills in a public match.

This means that these opposing players can’t kill each other, but can keep track of each other’s kills and placement on the map. When you’re racing for kills, understanding where the other duo are fighting and how many kills they have is important information.

Given only four players are competing at a time, that means that the rest of the 92 people on the map are regular Fortnite players.

This is where RNG comes into play. RNG is a term used in gaming that means Random Number Generator. It is the gaming equivalent of Alanis Morsette’s “Ironic.” It essentially means that there is some level of random luck involved in the game. For example, you might land in a place where there is usually a weapon or chest, but that weapon or chest isn’t there, leaving you vulnerable to other players who land around you.

Great players can work around or overcome a certain level of RNG, but if the opposing team comes up on a squad of noobs and your team rolls up on a squad of great players, the tide of the match will inevitably shift against you, and may even result in a loss.

This is the cost of the 2v2 format that has become popularized with the vast majority of Fortnite competitive players.

While it takes more time to have 100 players compete four at a time, this format allows the viewer to watch no more than four players as they traverse the map and seek eliminations. At most, the audience has to follow along with four separate stories on the map. In most cases, duos play together which brings that number down to two. In either case, it’s much easier than following along with the stories of 50 separate teams.

Traditional Battle Royale

Pros:

Less RNG

Amazing build fights

Fair, in the sense that players are fighting players of equal skill level

Cons:

It’s boring

Not inclusive

Confusing and scattered for viewers

This format was used during the Ninja Live tournament, the Fortnite ProAm tournament, and most recently during the $8 million Summer Skirmish series, hosted by Epic Games.

Here’s how it works: 100 pro players/streamers pair off into teams of two and all load into the same lobby, with the goal of lasting the longest.

As I said, Fortnite Battle Royale is built around the idea that there would be a sole survivor, but doesn’t predicate that survival on a certain level of skill. In other words, it’s relatively easy to hide, avoid fights, and survive to the near end of a game, or potentially even win. It doesn’t take much skill to squat in a bush or set traps in a house and sit in the bathroom.

Obviously, with pro players, there will be gunfights, and those gunfights should be pretty interesting. But they are few and far between, and are difficult to predict and capture for the live stream.

This also excludes regular players from being a part of the action. Yes, it’s a risk to construct a competitive scene on the backs of public game play. But it’s also never been done before in the pro gaming world. And it is the best way to include public players into the competitive scene. A regular player is far more likely to get interested in the competitive scene knowing that, on Friday or Saturday, they have the chance to play against the world’s greatest competitors.

The best way to build on the momentum of Fortnite’s popularity, as well as support the community as a whole, is to build out tournaments focused on eliminations within public lobbies.

It makes sense for Epic to want to control that experience, and it certainly makes sense for Epic to want the competitive scene to fit within the game they built, which is a Battle Royale. But thus far, competitive Battle Royale featuring purely pro players simply hasn’t worked. And it feels slightly underhanded for Epic to barrel over Fortnite Friday, given that the more competitive tournaments around Fortnite, the better for the game.

The community is here, telling you what it wants, Epic. And in true Fortnite fashion, if you build it, they will come.

Fortnite and Stuff

The non-public hosts used for the Match ended up about as laggy as can be, with pro gamers having eradicated simply because they couldn’t transfer. This tournament was for a total prize of $250K. That’s massive income, and big aggravation for Professional gamers who have been effectively eradicated via the whims in the server gods.

There is also a documentary-design and style notion that adopted several top gamers on their total operate, Together with the hope they’ll locate motion and perhaps even be pushed into conflict to impress viewers. Epic lately printed a publish-mortem over the party, outlining ways that the publisher can improve around the tournament. They’ve also set forth The principles to get this weekend’s occasion, proposing a rating-dependent Match the place both eliminations and Victory Royales rely toward gamers’ All round score. Whether this could incentivize more motion is going to be established subsequent the celebration. It’s also worthy of noting that Epic scheduled today’s function throughout the Fortnite Friday Match. Fortnite Friday, hosted by well known YouTuber Keemstar and facilitated by UMG, was a $twenty,000 elimination-centered tournament with best players. In this particular week of your Summer season Skirmish Collection, and that is truly worth a total of $eight million, Epic is selecting to host a two-working day Event, efficiently rendering Fortnite Friday playerless. It doesn’t must be in this manner, Epic. I are aware that the concept of 100 of the greatest gamers on the planet dropping into a single map sounds incredible. It definitely will do. It Appears excellent, in idea. Yet in observe, it’s only a disorderly Dwell stream of a bunch of hugely talented gamers sitting around in bases, or, even worse, lagging to The purpose of remaining frozen. And, an invitational Event (that goes terribly wrong) doesn’t scream “inclusive,” which happens to be what Epic regularly claims competitive Fortnite needs to be. There exists another way, and it’s the same way that Fortnite players have been competing for months now. A kill race. But let’s back up a little bit. What must competitive Fortnite be?Right now, Fortnite is performed by 100 folks in a single foyer, and “profitable” the sport is described by getting the final survivor(s). This may be performed in solo manner, with 100 people today facing off versus the storm and each other, or in 50 teams of two (Duos), or twenty five teams of four (Squads). Video clip games typically get tweaks for your aggressive scene, irrespective of whether it’s limiting the sources/equipment that players can employ or cutting down the quantity of maps that can be performed. When talent degree is that top, most video games should make modifications to allow for real Competitors. Specified it’s nevertheless early times, Fortnite Battle Royale showcasing purely Professional gamers only hasn’t labored. But because it stands now, there are actually roughly two faculties of assumed. Whoever gets one of the most eliminations wins. Professionals: Super enjoyment to viewNeeds talentInclusive to non-Professional gamersCons: A lot of RNGAdditional time-consumingGamebattle websites like CMG and UMG are already functioning small tournaments for quite a while now working with this format. Fortnite Friday, arguably certainly one of the biggest weekly tournaments, also follows this structure. Below’s how it really works: Individual gamers bunch in the Duo match on exactly the same team, or groups of two load up right into a Squad match, also on the identical group, and race for who may get one of the most kills inside a community match. Because of this these opposing players can’t get rid of each other, but can monitor one another’s kills and placement around the map. Any time you’re racing for kills, knowing where by one other duo is battling and the number of kills they have got is vital info. Presented only 4 gamers are competing at a time, that means the rest of the ninety two men and women over the map are frequent Fortnite gamers. This is where RNG arrives into Engage in. RNG is often a phrase used in gaming that means Random Quantity Generator. It's the gaming equal of Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic.” It effectively indicates There is certainly some standard of random luck associated with the sport. Such as, you could strike a spot the place there is frequently weapons or upper body, though that weapon or chest isn’t there, leaving you prone to other gamers who land around you. Great players can get the job done around or conquer a particular level of RNG, but In case the opposing workforce will come up with a squad of noobs and also your workforce rolls up over a squad of excellent players, the tide with the match will inevitably shift in opposition to you, and should even result in a loss.

Epic Games commits $100 million for Fortnite competitions

New Post has been published on https://www.hsnews.us/epic-games-commits-100-million-for-fortnite-competitions/

Epic Games commits $100 million for Fortnite competitions

Epic Games will provide $100 million in prize money to various esports tournaments for its hit game Fortnite throughout the 2018-19 calendar year, the developer announced on Monday.

Fortnite isn’t even an established esport yet, but it’s already possible to become a player on the professional scene. Team Secret announced that it has signed a four-member Fortnite squad. And what’s more, one of the players is just 13 years old.

ESPN’s Tyler Erzberger breaks down the biggest storylines in esports, from the hype around Fortnite to Boston’s big Overwatch League run.

The popularity of Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins was on full display Wednesday night, when an exhibition event featuring him in Las Vegas peaked at 667,000 concurrent viewers.

Epic did not announce what tournament organizing partners or other details about its plan to make a splash into esports, although it said it plans, “to be more inclusive, and focused on the joy of playing and watching the game.”

The news is the first time the AAA publisher will provide support for Fortnite competitive play, which launched its battle royale game mode for Windows, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in September. Epic then released a mobile version for iOS in April, with plans to launch an Android version in the coming months. The $100 million prize pool would shatter the record for the most money awarded in a year for one title, which is held by Valve’s Dota 2 at roughly $35 million over several tournaments in 2017.

In April, internet giant Tencent announced it would invest 100 million Chinese yuan ($15.75 million) in Fortnite esports, marketing and infrastructure in China. That company acquired distribution rights for Fortnite, adding to its ever-growing portfolio that includes League of Legends, Arena of Valor and others. Tencent is a 48.4 percent stakeholder in Epic Games and a content partner of ESPN.

The large financial commitment comes after Fortnite became one of the most played video games in the world, both for players and for spectators.

According to Epic, the game had over 45 million players around in January. It is the most popular game in the battle royale genre, with a total market share of 16.3 percent — more than its competitors, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and H1Z1 — according to data aggregated by Newzoo.

In May, Fortnite was the highest viewed game on Twitch, with a total of 127.9 million hours consumed by viewers, per data company Statista. This charge has been led by a number of streamers, including Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, a former competitive Halo player, who broke the individual Twitch stream viewing count with a total of 628,000 concurrent users during a livestream with rappers Drake and Travis Scott and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in March.

A number of amateur Fortnite tournaments and events have seen success. On Friday, YouTuber Daniel “Keemstar” Keem and UMG Events hosted a tournament that featured a number of professional Fortnite players, Ninja and influencers like Logan Paul. Other events, like one Ninja hosted at Esports Arena in Las Vegas in April, also gained a significant amount of traction by livestream viewers.
